He makes multiple trips annually to Brazil's northeast and consults regularly with ethnopharmacologists in southern Brazil.

He is responsible for the evaluation of companies and their products that are found on the site. He is constantly looking for reputable brands whose products have been scientifically researched and clinically studied. Purity is a big issue for him and he ardently works to exclude products that contain chemical preservatives, artificial substances, sweeteners, colors and flavors. He is a stringent opponent to GMO's.
Nicole Smith, RNC-OB, is a locally born, raised and grown NC native. While not quite a “country girl,” she enjoys getting dirt under her fingernails and cultivating a plethora of decorative, culinary, medicinal and food-bearing plant and vegetation, or “gardening” to us southerners. She has long been involved in all manners of landscaping and horticultural endeavors, and perhaps that was the genesis of her interest in living a natural-oriented health style. As she calls it, she “has a passion for clean, sustainable living.”
Besides walking the talk of living as naturally as possible for more than two decades, she became a registered nurse in 2007 and has had a stellar career caring for patients, newborns and mothers, receiving the “Remarkable Nurse” award from Novant Hospitals in 2021. Her career as a nurse certified in obstetrics, the branch of medicine and surgery concerned with childbirth and the care of women giving birth, she is also a certified prenatal educator and utilizes those amazing skills in helping others who want to take control of their health in a more natural manner.
Nicole left the hospital system to pursue her passion of natural health and exploring the paths of having a better work/life balance. Her experience and quest (“adventure!”) is helping to take The Green Pharmacy to exciting new heights and arenas.
